MLM Residual Income

Mlm residual income success with network marketing leads is the way most network marketers do business, at least part of the business. There are always product demonstrations, bump-intos, etc.

The question always is, how do I find people to talk to? Where do I get leads?

There are many companies willing to sell you leads anywhere from a few cents a lead to several dollars a lead. We are told the the more expensive leads are "pre-qualified". Well, I've never found them to be any more valuable than the others.

Would you believe it, I've never had one of those leads pan out at all. Most people I talk to haven't had good luck with them, either.

People who are on leads lists generally signed up for something else, fell for a "ground floor" brand new network marketing scheme - designed mostly to build lead lists - and have had their names recycled, re-hashed, and re-sold to unsuspecting network marketers.

When you talk to the leads - if they'll even answer the phone, let alone speak with you - you find they have no recollection of signing up as an interested party in starting a home-based-business. What a waste of their time and yours! Or mine.

And, sadly, there are some network marketing companies that teach you the way to find leads is to buy theirs. You may not know that the money you pay goes to someone upline in the company or even the owner. You may never earn a dime, but they do all right.

Does the term "do your due diligence" strike a cord with anyone? Ask where they came from.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to talk to anyone who doesn't want to talk to me. I want the people who raise their hand.

Mum's the word, but there is a better way. More about that next time.

Wishing you mlm residual income success with network marketing leads,

In my last post on "Being a leader" I talked about "Googling" information and not asking anyone for the answers. Well, sometimes you have to get some team help.

I understood the general principle of using the Windows Movie Maker and the different things it can do. But when it came to actually finding everything and setting a few things up, my eyes glazed over and I got that little voice coming from the pit of my stomach saying - "help!"

I long for the good old days of written instruction booklets.

So I called a friend on my team, sideline to me, who has helped me before with the voice recording program and he, with lots of patience, walked me through.

Now this is the beauty of an extended team where everyone leaves his or her ego at the door.
Another close friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy, author of the e-book Success in 10 Steps and founder of Mentoring for Free says that a successful team has no room for greed and ego. My friend Kim gets no monetary benefit from what I do, but he's a buddy and willing to help.

Not only did I learn how to find different tools and learn, finally, how to set up a file folder on the desktop, but my Kim discovered a few things he hadn't noticed before. He said he could make use of those.

Also, speaking of team help, he knows I'm good for composing a jingle should he need one for his videos. I am, after all, the singing network marketer.

So being a leader does mean you solve problems. But every leader has other mentors and leaders and friends and you have to know when to ask for help, yourself. For some people that's really hard. I'll go over that in another post.

An extended team of persons with a variety of talents and expertise means strength. Strength of the team and, in turn, strength of the company.

The strength of the whole is always greater than the sum of the individual parts.

Wishing you success with MLM residual income and team help,

Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile... initially scared me to death.

They came. He pushed them...and they flew.

Adventure isn't hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain. Adventure is an attitude that we must apply to the day-to-day obstacles of life -- facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities, testing our resources against the unknown and in the process, discovering our own unique potential.
